PROTECTS FLAT-TAPPET CAMS

Formulated with high levels of ZDDP to protect flat-tappet cams, lifters, rockers and other areas susceptible to wear. High-zinc, high-phosphorus formulation provides the extra wear protection critical splash-lubricated components require. Fights wear to help prevent compression loss for maximum horsepower.

HELPS PREVENT RUST & CORROSION

Formulated with a unique blend of rust and corrosion inhibitors to ensure maximum protection during long-term storage. Prevented rust and corrosion in industry standard testing (ASTM D1748-10) for excellent engine protection. Z-ROD Delivers Superior Rust Protection, features Zinc storage protection additives that guard against rust and corrosion during winter storage. In industry standard testing, AMSOIL Z-ROD completely prevented rust formation while a leading competitor did not.

Z-ROD® Synthetic Motor Oil, Modern Technology for Classic Cars

Part Number: ZROD-10W40

• Protects Flat-Tappet Cams
• The lifters and cam lobes on flat-tappet camshafts common to classic and high performance vehicles slide rapidly against one another, producing high friction and heat. The friction between the two components can eventually wear down the cam and affect valve operation, ultimately resulting in lost engine power and reduced efficiency. In addition, these areas are splash-lubricated rather than pressure lubricated like other areas of the engine, which adds extra strain on anti-wear additives such as the zinc and phosphorus in zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP).
• AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated with high levels of ZDDP to protect flat-tappet cams, lifters, rockers and other areas susceptible to wear. Its high-zinc, high-phosphorus formulation provides the extra wear protection these critical splash lubricated components require. Provides Long-Term Protection from Rust & Corrosion Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is formulated with a unique blend of rust and corrosion inhibitors to ensure maximum protection during long-term storage. To prove its effectiveness, AMSOIL submitted Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil to the Standard Test Method for Rust Protection by Metal Preservatives in the Humidity Cabinet (ASTM D1748-10). This test evaluates the rust-preventive properties of oil under high-humidity conditions, similar to those faced by a covered hot rod in a damp garage. The metal coupon treated with AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil showed no signs of rust.

APPLICATIONS
Use Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil in engines requiring either 10W30, 10W-40 or 20W-50 motor oil. Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil meets API SL and earlier specifications, allowing for increased levels of anti-wear additives. ZDDP levels in Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil exceed the limits of API SM and newer specifications.

COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is compatible with conventional and other synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil with other oils, however, will shorten the oil’s life expectancy and reduce its performance benefits. Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil is safe for automotive seals. Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended or use with Z-ROD.

SERVICE LIFE
Because engines in classic cars, hot rods and other performance vehicles are generally modified, a universal oil drain interval recommendation for these applications cannot be given. Responsibility for determining the drain interval duration rests with the owner. As a general service guideline, the maximum drain interval for Z-ROD Synthetic Motor Oil should not exceed 5,000 miles or two years, whichever comes first.
